Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks for the replies guys. It's due it's 200k service anyway so I'll get the mechanic to check it out then. It's also been suggested I check the splines going into the steering box to see if they are twisted.

I'll post the outcome once I know what it is.

I have just experienced same thing with my 80. Emo, did you ever work it out?

I got a HP IPaq RX1950 for $150 from Ebay. Haicom HI204III gps with 12v adapter and lead into IPAQ for $130 or thereabouts from Johnny Appleseed. RAM suction mount about $70.00 from same. All up the setup cost about $350.00 tops. The RX1950 doesn't have bluetooth but that's not an issue for me and ...

FYI you can get rated hooks (and I'm not talking about the tie down loops) from a Prado or 100 series that fit the 80. You may be able to pick them up from a wreckers or if you're feeling flush then you can get the genuine article from Toyota for about $130.00 a hook :shock: I managed to pick up one ...

Mate , if it's done more than about 10K then it's a rooted Yota LSD just like all the others

Can anyone give me a rough guestimate on how much it would cost to get some barwork powdercoated, would it need to be preped much first? im looking at getting my red rear cheezy bar and sliders done in a black and then maybe the front arb style winch bar redone so it matches the other two. Im in SE ...

Check the part number on the shocks. If they have SP1 after the part number it means they have been spaced for standard ride height.

The good news is that you can get the spacers removed. From memory I think it's about $40.00 a shock and they service them at the same time.

As predicted, the awning is crap. I am embarressed to put it on the car. Found another one that might be more promising: http://www.bcf.com.au/index.cfm?fuseaction=catalogues.viewPage&PageID=99 I am still working on my ideal awning. Using a 3mx4m tarp and spreader bars off the back. This makes ...

Heh Had another go this arvo (had the brains to put the back of the car in the shade, a good idea when it's still 35 in the sun at the moment). Found the adjuster wheel by feel with the screwdriver (bought a manual, so I had some pics to work with), still couldn't see it with a torch... adjusted ...

Yeah thanks man!! Pulling the drum was actually my first thought, but that involves removing the calipers. Seeing as I don't have a manual yet (hence not having a pic of the inside) I decided not to go randomly unbolting braking bits :) Ta for the info :finger: The adjuster should be somewhere ...

FYI I run 35x12.5X16 Bias Claws on a 2" spring lift (no spacers or anything else) and have yet to have issues with rubbing. Having said that I did have to go to ROH trak II rims because the std GXL rims didn't have enough offset.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Andrew

Confirms what I heard from the LCOOL list and from a friend.

Have a good Xmas.

I have a chirruping noise from the gearbox on the 80 series which disappears when the clutch is depressed. The noise is there whether in neutral or when driving. Is this likely to be the front input shaft bearing? The box is also a bit sticky shifting into 1st and 2nd when cold (not that that's ...

Thanks...... I'll go and check out the spec's and see what the weight difference is.......... I just presummed the steel would be a lot heavier. Thanks De-Lux The fat bloke in the seat next to you would be putting more stress on the Oiler than the bull bar. :D Try telling him to eat a few less ...

I take it you will be taking welding lessons.

Yep!

Lesson 1: Find someone who has just bought a MIG!

Lesson 2: Get them to weld it for you.

Passed top of my class

Thanks RV

I have been weighing up all the options and think I'm gonna go with something like A1MAV's design.

Thanks for the responses guys.

Note to self: Must reinforce inflatable Koala. Oh .... and buy disinfectant!

Hi My sliders mount to the 4 bolts that hold the exhaust bracket below the drivers floor, and the pipe is bent in a semi circle going below the exhaust pipe and protecting it. Sorry no piccy. Brand of slider is SMC Andrew Thanks Andrew Sounds similar to what I'm going to try and do. I'll post pics ...

Found this but if anyone else has any other suggestions I'd be glad to hear em.

Hmmm 2nd.

Does anyone have any pics of their mounting points for rock sliders for an 80 series without a body lift?

Any bright ideas for a mounting point up front on the drivers side (where that bloody flexible joint is)?

Thanks

mate 3 mm off a flywheel is huge amount. i do this for job and have always ground the flywheels, but if the hot spots are that bad we will replace the flywheel with a better condition second hand one that has been machined on a proper flywheel grinder. I am not saying that i know evrything this is ...

It could have a hot spot on the flywheel. If it has been a bit hot from burning the clutch. Have you done any heavy work that over worked the clutch. could you smell it burn at any stage? It's done some serious towing, but there has always been a bit of an issue with the shudder. Might wait for the ...
